Application December 23, 1955, Serial No. 555,217

1 Claim. (Cl. 53241) The present invention relates to a portable home garment bagger. It is a light weight device which folds and telescopes to a length convenient to carry in a suit case, and embodies a fast method of removing a bag from a garment for inspection, or applying a bag over a garment.

An object of this invention, resides in the instant adaptability to the head door casing of a dwelling, and as a complete unit, that requires no skill, practise, or efiort.

Figure 1 of drawing shows a section of head door casing 17 with jaws 3 and 4 of section d attached to upper and lower edges, of head door casing and spring 6 which controls jaw 3.

In addition Figure 1 shows a bag elevated on the fully extended arm sections a, b, c, and a dress, supplied with a coat hanger is positioned on ring 16 at the lowermost end of section c wherein, the garment is covered by lowering bag, or vice versa for inspection thereof.

Figure 2 of drawing is a detailed view, showing arm sections a, b, c with lock pin 12 and hinge 15 which connects section b to section 0. The slidable sections a and b can be locked in two positions, by moving lock pin 12, shown on enlarged view of drawingFigure 3.

Figure 4 shows complete bagging unit, telescoped and folded.

The garment bagger illustrated and described herein comprises four sections, shown on drawing Figures 1 and 2, and indicated by the letters a, b, c and d.

The sections a, b, and d are constructed with two pieces of steel metal, comparable to curtain rod fixtures in the respect that one member telescopes inside of the other.

The uppermost ends of section a and section d are joined by sharing hinge 11.

The outer member of section b has a lock pin 12 annexed adjacent to top, which registers with top and lower openings of inner member, the top opening of section a has numeral 19 and the lowermost opening 18.

When lock pin 12 engages opening 19 it shortens arm making it suitable for bagging all garments that a thirtysix inch bag would cover.

2,830,418 Patented Apr. 15, 1958 For longer garments such as mens overcoats, and ladies coats and dresses, instant length is gained on bagger arm by changing lock pin to engage opening 18.

Section 0 with hinge 15 swings downward when the hanger is attached to head door casing 17, making a proper length of arm for bagging ladies suits, mens suits and childrens garments. The lowermost end of section 0 is tapered and turned up to form a ring, substituting for a hook.

Also shown on drawing is bag retaining clip, annexed just above ring.

The detailed drawing Figure 2 ilustrates the general function of section d with the stationary jaw 4 secured on the top edge of head door casing 17 and the slidable jaw 3 in verticle alignment with upper jaw 4 firmly grips the lower edge of head casing 17 due to strong spring tension of coil spring 6.

Clamped securely in this position, the top of section d reaches near to ceiling, where it joins and shares hinge 11 which supports arm sections a, b, 0 also shown on Figure 1.

In addition jaw 4 is supplied with two fine needles with the numerals 14 slightly slanted forward to increase grip on casing 17 as weight is added to arms by garments hung on ring 16.

Having described my invention, I claim:

A portable home garment bagger comprising a door casing section and a bagger arm section each hingedly connected to the other at one end thereof; a spring clamping post forming the other end of the door casing section, said spring clamping post having two independent jaws, one jaw being stationary and the other jaw being spring loaded in a direction toward the first jaw to permit the jaws to engage a door casing therebetween for supporting the garment bagger; the bagger arm section comprising three independent sections, the first section of which is provided with two lock holes located at each end thereof, the second section being provided with a lock pin to engage either of the lock holes of the first section and having a cross-sectional dimension greater than the first section to allow the second section to telescope over the first section and the third section being hingedly connected to the second section at one end thereof, said third section being provided with a ring to support a garment to be bagged and a clip to support a bag above the ring.
